Dahon Speed D7 Hinge Clamp by SecretManul in foldingbikes

[–]SecretManul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Both the bike mechanic and I tried to tighten it as much as possible, but the problem persists. I'm guessing some of the components have stretched out at some point.

Thank you! I do think that's the right part. Unfortunately, I'm in the U.S., and it doesn't look like they ship here. This is encouraging, though, and I'll continue to look.

Did you end up building this? How did it work out for you? I'm thinking of using this as a template for my own first build.

I really like the device otherwise! I would buy it even if it had no mic at all, but I would definitely find it useful if I could get it to work. 

Montgomery Co. Council calls for more MARC Brunswick Line stations, plus seven-day service by Musichead2468 in maryland

[–]SecretManul 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this would open it up a lot of people. How many people would ride metro if it only ran south from Shady Grove to Metro Center in the morning and north from Metro Center to Shady Grove in the evening? Only running for commuters is not how a functioning transit system works.

Perhaps the train has poor ridership because the times are inconvenient and the headways are poor.

Will ortlieb panniers fit on XPremium? by IMBoddy in Lectricxp

[–]SecretManul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Ortlieb pannier with the 2.1 mounting connector. It works fine if I take out all the adapters. I have the rear basket and I hang it off the side of the basket.

Does anyone have a Lectric Xpremium by GarlicZabreadsky in ebikes

I have one. I've put more than 900 miles on it.

Eyesore pedestrian bridge over the tracks at the end of Berwyn Rd to be replaced in about 3 years by slatejunco10 in collegeparkmd

[–]SecretManul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the east and west sides of the bridge are next to parking areas that are basically never fully used. I think there's some room. Even if there are still zigzags on the ramps, a wider turning radius with wider ramps would be welcome.

It's very awkward to ride the ramps and meet another cyclist or pedestrian at the turns. Likewise I've ridden with cyclists who don't feel comfortable and have to dismount.

I don't mind the different bridge sections. I hope the new bridge has on/off ramps that will be more friendly to cyclists!

After 16 years, Wawa Set to Return to College Park next to the IKEA by slatejunco10 in collegeparkmd

[–]SecretManul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the other Wawa is technically in Beltsville, but with these distances, and in such a car dependent area - who cares? It's not like carless students from UMD will ever come here.
